Dasyu-maryādā and Buddhi-guided Rāja-nīti (दस्युमर्यादा तथा बुद्धिप्रधान-राजनीति)
एतन्मे संशयं छिन्धि मतिममे सम्प्रमुह्दति । अविश्वासकथामेतामुपश्रुत्य पितामह,पितामह! आपकी यह अविश्वास-कथा सुनकर तो मेरी बुद्धिपर मोह छा गया। कृपया आप मेरे इस संशयका निवारण कीजिये
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | etan me saṁśayaṁ chindhi matim mama sampramuhyati | aviśvāsa-kathām etām upaśrutya pitāmaha ||
尤提士提罗说道:“请为我斩断此疑,因为我的理解已然迷乱。祖父啊,听了这番关于不信任的论述,我心神恍惚;愿您为我解开这份疑惑。”
युधिछिर उवाच
The verse models dharmic inquiry: when moral reasoning becomes clouded by a troubling example (here, a discourse on distrust), one should seek clarification from a reliable elder/teacher to remove doubt and restore right understanding.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction-setting, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Bhīṣma as ‘Grandfather’ and asks him to dispel his confusion after hearing a discussion/story about distrust, requesting a clear resolution of his doubt.
